They have own circular DNA and ribosomes.So they can reproduce.

If a yeast cell were to lose its mitochondria would it still be able to grow?

No, the yeast cell would not be able to grow without mitochondria because mitochondria are essential for generating energy through aerobic respiration. Without mitochondria, the yeast cell would not be able to produce ATP efficiently and would not be able to meet its energy requirements for growth and functioning.


Mitochondria are capable of themselves?

Mitochondria are capable of producing energy in the form of ATP through a process called cellular respiration. They contain their own DNA and are able to replicate independently from the cell, allowing for the maintenance and regulation of their population within the cell. Additionally, mitochondria play a vital role in regulating apoptosis (programmed cell death) and cellular signaling pathways.


Do mitochondria produce proteins?

Mitochondria do not produce proteins themselves, but they have their own genome and machinery to synthesize a few essential proteins. The majority of the proteins needed for mitochondrial function are produced in the cell's cytoplasm and then imported into the mitochondria.


How many mitochondria will a body produce?

The correct answer? None. Your body doesn't "produce" mitochondria. They really are individual living entities in each cell of your body. They have their own separate DNA and reproduce themselves. Your body most certainly DOES NOT produce them... Figure out whether your teacher actually understood this. If so, congratulate him/her for a clever question. If not, tell him/her that the only correct answer is "none."


The mitochondrion has DNA that functions indepenently?

Yes,mitochondria have their own DNA.So they replicate themselves.
